<strong>International</strong> <strong>Federation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pedestrians</strong><br />

Visibility is an important aspect <strong>of</strong> any <strong>project</strong>. A website gathering information on where <strong>living</strong> <strong>end</strong> road<br />

signs have been placed, combined with some additional statistics per municipality, is under<br />

development.<br />

Value <strong>of</strong> the <strong>project</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> the <strong>project</strong> is more than to have the relevant information available to the cyclist or<br />

pedestrian passing by. <strong>The</strong> “collateral” effects might be as important. Municipalities and people in the<br />

administration will have spent some time thinking about the road network from a sustainable road user<br />

point <strong>of</strong> view. Through this low-threshold <strong>project</strong>, they might become more sensitized and motivated to<br />

take pedestrians (and cyclists) rights and issues more into account in their daily work. And the road user<br />

might discover new routes, and maybe even decide to explore them leaving his/her car behind.<br />
